How To Keep Mushrooms From Getting Slimy

Have you ever had soft, rubbery mushrooms that almost taste….. slimy? I LOVE all things mushroom – but there is absolutely nothing worse than weak, soft, and slimy mushrooms with very little flavor or texture.

To make perfectly delicious mushrooms, you have to let them release their liquid and brown them to be slightly crispy – it brings out the rich, meaty flavor in mushrooms everyone loves.

To do this, we’re cooking the mushrooms over high heat until they are golden brown before we add back lots of liquid to the pan when we add in white wine.

How To Get Perfect Sautéed Mushrooms:

-Add mushrooms only after pan is scorching hot and olive oil is shimmery/butter is melted and foamy.

-Be sure to salt and pepper mushrooms while sauteeing with butter or olive oil.

-Don’t add your cloves of garlic to the pan until mushrooms have started to become soft brown.

-Be sure to mix in gourmet mushrooms of all shapes and sizes – I use baby bella mushrooms as a “base” and then add in some fancy mushrooms since they tend to be a lot more expensive.

-When adding wine, keep the pan over medium heat and then return to high to cook off.

-Serve sauteed mushrooms when piping hot – reheat with a little butter in a pan for leftovers.

To Make This Sautéed Mushrooms Recipe, You’ll Need:

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter, set 1 tbsp aside
• 1 tbsp olive, canola or other oil
• 1 1/2 pound Gourmet Mushrooms, cinamon cap, oyster, king oyster and shiitake, fill out your 1/2 pound with cremini if you can't source some of the mushrooms but try as many exotics as you can
• 5 cloves garlic, diced
• 1/4 cup white wine, use half grape juice and diluted white wine vinegar OR 1/4 cup stock if you don't cook with wine, though wine will taste best
